Connected Car
What's happening:With my experience of using connected car features and the latest experience with Adrenox / Mappls, I started thinking: as more and more cars are coming up with connected car features, it inevitably requires network / internet connectivity. Mahindra recently rolled out an ICE update to its newest cars: there are no more offline maps! I have almost never used offline maps in any cars in the last 10 years, since the onset of Google Maps as the navigation tool. I download offline maps in Google Maps of all the areas I plan to visit for each trip, and that is working very well for me. Now I have the offline maps and the offline navigation from MapMyIndia as Plan B, and Google Maps on my phone as Plan A for my navigation.
